"Have you ever loved me for a second Key?"

The question arises accompanied by teardrops from men who have always looked solid like coral.

The man who was always there for me at all times, who gave up his body to protect me, who always comforted me with what he was, and willingly gave his love to me who did not love him.

Have I hurt him so deeply with all this selfishness?

Now that question keeps popping into my own head, and it feels so distracting.

*****

My name is Laura Keyra Martin, and I'd rather people call me Keyra, this year I'm 23.

Being the youngest of two brothers made me accustomed to being spoiled and always getting whatever I wanted, including in love affairs.

Having a handsome, nice, romantic girlfriend added to the abundance of wealth must be a dream for every woman.

So did I who was so fond of a man named Reno Christian since I was in school.

I made various efforts to attract the sympathy of my upperclassman on this one.

But his popularity at school used to make me have to fight extra to get his heart.

And I believe, every effort will have a result.

Likewise, my love is finally able to melt Reno, until now our relationship has entered its seventh year since we officially dated.

I'm happy to have her, my life feels so perfect with her.

But life is not always as smooth as what we want.

No exception to our relationship, everyone who saw must be envious of the intimacy and romance Reno gave me.

But who would have thought that I was bored with all that.

A fool? yeah, you guys must think that.

But not with me, seven years is not a short time in a dating relationship.

And I always received an abundance of love from Reno, she always treated me like a queen.

I should have been happy, but lately I have been feeling bland in our relationship.

His busyness in work affairs often takes Reno time.

Not infrequently I have to be disappointed when Reno canceled the date plan just because of work.

I'm also an ordinary woman who needs attention and affection like everyone else.

All the luxuries Reno gave me meant nothing at all.

Until now I feel at a saturation point in a relationship, this sometimes makes me keep thinking wildly.

Do I have to leave Reno and let her rot in the pile of documents she was so fond of.

Oh, I love him too much and can't imagine my life without Reno.

Right now what I need is something that can cheer me up in loneliness, something new that is more colorful and challenging, something wild, and I have never done in my life that always looks straight.

I feel like I'm the saddest human being with my boring life.

8 Years ago...

"Are you sure we can do this, Mia?"

Many times I had to lower my tight skirt on this knee.

It was uncomfortable, but to show that we deserved to be in a place with a sea of people drowning in this bang of music, he said, I was with my two friends named Mia and Jessy had to look like a graceful and mature woman.

"Look down and enjoy Key, didn't you want to feel like you've been in a place like this? so wait a minute, let's party tonight." cried Mia while stomping her legs and hands to the beat of the music.

"This is really fun Key." cried Jessy who was no less excited.

I myself also started to get carried away.

Caring for demons with dozens of pairs of eyes that are now staring at us.

Back to our original goal here, having fun and enjoying the wild things that girls our age shouldn't have done.

Fortunately Mia has an acquaintance who can help us enter this place.

A pretty fancy and famous nightclub in our city.

To make us so curious to try to be in it, and this is where we are now.

Mingle with many people who also intend to enjoy the night with fun.

"May I dance with you, miss."

I looked over and saw the man with a handsome face who was now behind me.

But it won't make me fall into his trap.

Not wanting to respond, I prefer to shift and docked to Mia and Jessy who are still late in the thump of music.

The man was still looking at me, although the look on his face was not clearly visible from my current position.

Maybe he's upset about my rejection, it's up to me to just have fun in this place.

Forgetting Reno, my upperclassman at school that I haven't been able to subdue until now.

Ceh, remembering it again made my head filled with anger again.

My body started to feel hot and sweaty, then I decided to take Mia and Jessy back to our seats to rest.

"I'm thirsty."

Because the music was too loud, I had to shout a little into Mia's ear.

With a nod of my head, Mia and Jessy followed my steps.

"This is so amazing Key."

Jessy laughed and gulped down the mineral water in front of us.

"It's a shame, we're in this place and we can only drink mineral water." Jessy protested, putting the bottle back in her hand.

"It's for our own good, Jess, do you want us to get drunk and eat dappled noses here."

I could see clearly how the grown men were staring at us.

Like a wolf waiting for a rabbit.

"Did you not want to try this?" tawar Mia who showed me a bottle of alcoholic beverages in her hand.

"You crazy? where'd you get that Mia?" I hit Mia's arm, and the girl just chuckled while trying to unscrew the bottle.

"Have you forgotten what Key is? we are in the safe of drinks like this." replied Mia without burden.

"But we'll get drunk if we drink it." I protest against Mia's offer.

"Come on Key, we've come this far, so if you drink a few gulps there won't be a problem, right?" talk to Mia again.

"Mia's right Key, I'm really curious to try that too." Jessy looks so enthusiastic with the glass that is now in her hands.

I was a little hesitant, more precisely afraid of what would happen if bang Arya to know I was drunk and went to a place like this.

But Mia and Jessy have a point, if just trying a mouthful would definitely have no effect on my body.

"Alright, pour it for me." I said braced myself.

The three of us toast like a true drinker.

"For our adventure tonight." cried Jessy enthusiastically.

"Do you think we're in the woods? you fool!" protest Mia stared intently at Jessy.

While I did not mind their argument and immediately gulped down the contents of my glass.

"Arrrgh...this is really bad Mia, are you sure it's worth drinking?" I asked with a shaky body.

A completely foreign taste and also strange in my opinion.

But somehow this drink became a drink that is liked by most people around the world.

"You'll get used to it later, do you want more?" hail Mia while pouring the drink again into my glass.

"You're right Key, this is far from good, but we still have to drink it so that people here don't suspect us." whispered Jessy in my ear.

"Whatever, I just want to drink my banana milk now, you know my throat feels like it's burning right now" I said as I leaned my back.

Mia and Jessy just laughed at my words.

"Then go home and ask your mother why you brought us here."

Mia chuckles at me who's pouting.

Without them realizing their silly and childish behavior is a concern of someone who sits not far from them.

"Based on the boy." he muttered with a grinning smile.
